The Certsian Philosophy.
Ah. Haven't seen the term til now.
"I think you're right on - the memos are Big Fakes AND Bush is a Child of Privilege. We have such a hard time accepting the Certsian Philosophy. Yes, it's a breath mint, and yes, it's a candy mint. It's two, two, two mints in one. Much of life is Certsian, but we so love our fights that we'll gin them up if we have to. It's a candy mint, damnit!" Taken from Virginia Postrel's weblog.
Ms Postrel and her conversant make several points. Among them, that this campaign has become a campaign of "micro-issues". That is how OJ beat the rap:
by atomizing the relevant arguments into obscurity. We'll lay out dots of truth for you to follow. Ignore that big picture over there, please. It's misdirection taken to a level that a magician would envy.
